"Police will often wake you up if you’re sleeping in your car in order to determine that you’re not a homeless person in an illegal sleeping situation." So its illegal to be homeless. Does that make the bank that throw out the person from its home an accessory on a crime? Or is it the government by not providing enough shelters? Who knows. Maybe law, but an unfair one. 2. "Even in areas where sleeping in the car is legal, police have the right to search you and your vehicle if they believe you are exhibiting suspicious behavior." Wrong, police cannot search your car without your consent or a court order. This has being ratified on many occasions by the Supreme Court, as it violates the 4th amendment. If this happen, the policeman is a criminal. 1. “Police will often wake you up if you’re sleeping in your car in order to determine that you’re not a homeless person in an illegal sleeping situation.”
